
NOTE: Do not rotate the handlebar
to a position that allows air to enter
the brake system.
! WARNING
Tighten cap screws according to
specifications to prevent unexpected
"movement" of the handlebar during

Exhaust System

The exhaust system is designed to reduce
noise and to improve the total perfor-
mance of the engine. If any exhaust sys-
tem component is removed from the
engine and the engine is run, severe
engine damage will result.

Air-Intake Silencer

Used in conjunction with the fuel intake
system is a specially designed air-intake
silencer. The purpose of the silencer is to
quiet the intake of fresh air. Since the fuel
intake system is calibrated with the air-
intake silencer in place, the engine must
never be run with the silencer removed.
Performance will not be improved if the
air-intake silencer is removed. In con-
trast, severe engine damage will occur.
CAUTION
These snowmobiles are not designed
to be operated in dusty conditions.
Operating the snowmobile in dusty
conditions will
engine damage.
can
result in severe

Cooling System

These snowmobiles are equipped with a
closed liquid cooling system for engine
cooling. The cooling system should be
inspected daily for leakage and damage.
Also, the coolant level should be checked
daily. If leakage or damage is detected,
take the snowmobile to an authorized
Arctic Cat Snowmobile dealer for ser-
vice. If not under warranty, this service is
at the discretion and expense of the
snowmobile owner.
When filling the cooling system reser-
voir, use an ethylene glycol-based cool-
ant/water mixture which will satisfy the
coldest anticipated weather conditions of
your area in accordance with the coolant
be
manufacturer's recommendations.

NOTE: If operating on ice or hard-
packed snow conditions, it is recom-
mended that Ice Scratchers (p/n 5639-
897) be installed and engaged to
reduce wear strip wear and engine
overheating.
For checking/filling cooling system, refer to
Coolant Level sub-section in the Mainte-
nance section.

Battery

It is extremely important that the battery
be maintained at full charge at all times
and that the battery connections be clean
and tight. If charging the battery becomes
necessary, refer to Battery sub-section in
the Maintenance section.
CAUTION
Always turn the ignition switch key to
the OFF position when the snowmo-
bile is not being used. Leaving the
ignition switch in the ON position will
result in discharging the battery and
possible damage to the battery.
